Star Trek Word List

While experimenting with Fierce I needed a Star Trek word list to conduct a brute force DNS scan. The free word lists available from Oxford University repository are a good start but there seems to be room for improvement. I found the Star Trek world list (Trek.Z) severely lacking (530 entries), so decided to populate my own list with help from Wikipedia. In my case I am interested in Star Trek ship and captain names (for this particular test lab) which were absent from Trek.Z file. With some ghetto awk,sed,grep and cut action, I populated a list with names of all the Star Trek ships, characters and the names of the actors.
